API KEY

Question

If we use API key directly in our js script, then anyone can access or misuse the api key. Is there any way to avoid such situations?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use the online JavaScript Obfurcator Tool to encrypt your file. That way your key will be impossible or at least way harder to get.

Answer 2

Well you could use back-end server, either your own or other popular services.

I think you could also use a worker, like Cloudflare worker so it acts as a secure layer between your website/webpage and the API key. They have a free plan(which allows 100,000 requests per month).
